1.3 CHEMICAL HANDLING, USE AND STORAGE ___________________________________
Chemicals are used in this sprayer and used in cleaning
after use. A manufacturers MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheet) must be obtained from the chemical supplier for
each chemical, and a copy kept near the area that the
chemical is stored and used. Information listed on the
MSDS are the chemical characteristics and hazards
associated with its use. Special attention should be given
to recommended safety equipment, first aid treatment for
accidental inhalation, swallowing, absorption, or injection,
and compatibility with other chemicals. All sprayer
employees should know how to read an MSDS.
Use care when opening sprayer tank cover. Potentially
dangerous chemical fumes may have accumulated inside
tank.
Chemicals and cleaning solutions may be flammable or
produce flammable vapors. Do not smoke when working
with chemicals. Never store chemicals near an open
flame or spark which could ignite chemicals or chemical
vapors.
Never work alone with harmful chemicals . Always have a
second person nearby in case of emergency.
1.4 RECOMMENDED SAFETY EQUIPMENT________________________________________
Special safety equipment is required to prevent
accidental exposure to poisoning and should be worn at
all times when working with chemicals. Contact your
chemical supplier for proper material handling and
compatibility.
The following is strongly recommended, however other
safety equipment may be required. Always refer to the
chemical manufacturer’s MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheet) that is available for all chemicals for additional
safety equipment that may be required.
Mask / Respirator - Prevents inhalation of harmful
fumes. Use an approved canister type with appropriate
filter cartridges for chemical being used.
Spray Suit - Full coverage for arms, legs, body, and free

1.5 WORK AREA SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS __________________________________
Read this section carefully and thoroughly in order to
become familiar with the proper safety techniques
used when operating the sprayer.
Be sure to obtain an operation demonstration from your
Cushman dealer before attempting to operate this
vehicle.
The operator must be familiar with the function of all
vehicle controls as well as the operating characteristics of
the vehicle. This is best accomplished through careful
application of proper operating procedures.
The safety of the operator and bystanders depend on
the operator’s good judgement in operating and
maintaining this vehicle.
1. It is recommended that all spray technicians obtain a
CPA (Certified Pesticide Applicators) license or
equivalent. Operators should request, read, and
follow all appropriate federal, state, and local
regulations pertaining to spraying equipment,
chemical mixing, and storage.
Be informed not a
victim
.
2. We recommend a runoff recovery or containment
system for the mix and load area. If one is not
available be certain the runoff does not contaminate
water supplies, public sewers, or natural wet land
areas. Check your local regulations for requirements
in your area.
3. Do not allow non-sprayer personnel to enter the mix
and load area. All mix and load operations should
be performed only with proper safety equipment in
place. Refer to the chemical manufacturer’s MSDS
for required safety equipment, mixing, and handling
procedures.
4. Use an anti-backflow protection device on fill hoses
and water source outlets especially if using a public
water system. An air gap filler (anti siphon) is
available as an optional accessory for the Spraytek.
5. Never place fill hose into tank. This could
contaminate the hose.
6. Keep hands, feet, and other body parts away from
moving components. Restrain loose clothing and
use caution around moving parts.
7. Follow recommended safety and maintenance
schedules for this equipment. Do not operate this
equipment without safety devices in place or if the
equipment is not working correctly.
8. Keeping proper records in regards to chemicals
being used, batch size, time, date, areas treated,
weather conditions, and unusual occurrences can
protect you and others should any problems occur
after turf application has been made.
9. In case of an accident, injury, or unprotected
exposure notify your supervisor immediately. If
necessary, operator or supervisor should contact the
poison control board, EPA, and/or local fire
department to help with the situation.
WARNING
DO NOT operate this equipment until you have read
the operator’s manual completely. Operators must be
confident and sure of their skills before operating this
unit. Only properly trained persons with proper safety
equipment should be allowed to operate this vehicle.
Use caution when operating on slopes, turning, and
braking. Avoid full throttle starts. The large liquid
payload reacts differently during vehicle movement
than an equal sized dry load. This is heavy equipment
that could cause serious injury or death to the
operators and/or bystanders if used improperly or
overturned.
Never allow minors to operate the vehicle at any time.

2. Immediately disengage any accessories that are
operating.
3. Slow the engine speed to a fast idle.
4. Remove any dirt, chaff, debris, etc. from the radiator
intake screen located on the right side of the
vehicle.
Temperature gauge needle should start to go down
approximately 30 seconds after the screen is cleaned. If
temperature does not go down, STOP the engine and
check the following.
1. Check to see if cooling fan is operating. Fan should
be turning with coolant above 180° F, even with
ignition switch in OFF position.
2. Check engine oil level.
3. Check for a leak in the cooling system. Do not open
radiator when hot. Check coolant levels after system
completely cools.
Failure to heed the overheat warning and properly
maintain the cooling system will cause permanent
engine damage.
CAUTION
